Guest Reviewers?
I have been asked in the past by a few people if Cigar Obsession will take Guest Reviews. While not something I would consider to replace any of our regular content, I am considering the idea purely to supplement it! I think I can make this fun for everyone…
If you would like to be a Guest Video Reviewer on Cigar Obsession, please leave a comment on this thread with your contact info and I’ll be in touch with more details. All that is required is that you are able to produce raw video clips in the style of my own, as far as being in HD, and well lit. I will do all the editing for you and handle all the details!

San Cristobal Lancero Cigar Review
San Cristobal Lancero Cigar Review
This 7.5×38 stick offered an excellent burn and great draw, slightly on the firm side with just the right amount of resistance all the way down. Flavors were rich, intense and bold – yet utterly smooth and never more than medium bodied. Several flavor transitions were present, with some flavors swapping, others coming and going at points. The combinations were very well blended and extremely enjoyable. I picked up combinations of bread, oily leather, earth, cocoa, coffee, espresso, touches of pepper and cream. The finish was long with most of the draw flavor hanging around washing over your mouth. The smoke was especially thick and rich, chewy at points. Thank you very much to Ashton for generously donating this for review! Photography by BG Pictures.

Man ‘O War Toro Cigar Review
Man ‘O War Toro Cigar Review
This 6.5 x52 dark chocolate stick offered a toothy, thick firm wrapper giving tons of rich creamy smoke. Burn was very good, draw was on the loose side with good resistance. Flavors were widely varied with several transition points including cocoa, coffee, leather, wood, cream, pepper and spice in various combinations. The finish was mostly short and clean with some points offering pepper and spice. Thank you to Shuckins for the stick in trade! Photography by BG Pictures.

Piano Fuerte Sonata Double Corona Cigar Review
Piano Fuerte Sonata Double Corona Cigar Review
This 6×60 stick from Piano Fuerte came in a light tan wrapper with good firm construction and a smooth finish. Lasting just over an hour, it offered a fairly plain flavor profile but with a few good distinct transitions. Flavors included creamy leather, deep earthiness, cinnamon and a nice pepper & spice kick through the finish. This is a fairly spicy stick all the way down, with the core flavors changing through the thirds nicely. It was medium-full bodied but never overpowering – no buzz at all. Burn was almost razor sharp all the way down, the ash holding on for an inch between clean drops. The draw was just on the firm side with perfect resistance for slow nice pulls. The smoke volume was light till the last third, at which point it because voluminous and rich. Thank you very much to Piano Fuerte Cigars for donating this sample for review!

Cigar Obsession Photo Contest 2 – 5 Stick Giveaway – The Vote
EDIT
As of 8am Monday EST this contest and all future contests are cancelled. Multiple entries have had voter fraud committed, and the results are very unfair. Multiple votes have been logged by people simply skirting the rules and spirit of the contest. When I figure out how best to prevent this in the future I may put up more contests.
Sorry to all the people that played fair.
Alright, we have 12 contestants for this, the second Cigar Obsession Photo Contest 5 Stick Giveaway! The winner will receive a 5 pack of cigars from Cigar Obsession! Voting ends 11:59pm EST Oct 31st and the winner will be announced Nov 1st.
This is a simple contest – pick your favorite and may the best smoker/photographer win! Images are shown in no particular order:
